This paper describes some initial results of an ongoing investigation that seeks answers about the perception of the citizens of San Luis, Argentina about their participation in public affairs in the last six years (2015-2021). We want to know how citizens perceive their participation in the public policies promoted by the state with the administration of Governor Alberto Rodríguez Saa, governor of San Luis in the last six years, how they understand and qualify the communication and information that the government deploys towards the citizenship and what are the alternatives or instances of participation that citizens see as probably better or better. The qualitative questionnaire was launched in January 2021. Increasing populism, personalization of politics, tribalist partisanship, and authoritarianism have lately put immense pressure on what have been termed "liberal" characteristics of citizenship, especially regarding equal rights, access to legal status, as well as popular input in political decisions, a situation clearly exposed during the development of the Covid 19 Pandemic and the Argentine quarantine.
